Cherish Every Moment

Stars in the sky like grains of sand 
pouring through an hour glass in open 
hands. Slipping straight through the 
cracks going straight to the ground and 
no one reacts..  Each gain a single 
instance in time. A memory so easily 
forgotten a dream so easily left behind.  
Trying to keep the light that tries to darken 
the mind. A black hole that absorbs each 
star like dream. Slowly eating away the 
glisten and gleam. To give up and forget 
feels like the easiest way. Then start again 
another day.
